Ah yes, that's correct, so the settings in daemon are ineffective. I wonder if they should be removed to avoid confusion, or changed so that they are effective... Either way what's there now is just confusing. > I think I will add a "named" section in login.conf after I study its man > page ;-) rc.d(8) and rc.subr(8) are also useful references. > What do you think? Makes sense to me, if you have a certain daemon you would like to give more resources to while keeping standard limits for most daemons, this is exactly the right way to do it.
